Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion

About Me

I'm just trying to be a better person. My name is kins.

I don't need no make-up, I got real scars. I got hair on my chest, I look good without a shirt....

For the record, I live in a one-bedroom flat Norwich with my fiance Sarah, who is my rock, my teacher and my best friend. She also makes my sandwiches and looks after the garden. I... wash up sometimes.

I have a Philosophy degree, which may explain why I have no idea how to spell 'definately'. I don't smoke or do drugs, and don't consume much alcohol. I do, however, drink a lot of coffee and eat too much chocolate. Sometimes it makes me go a little nuts. Got an unusual news story to share? Join us at Area 44 and let's see if we can't get some discussion going.

Well, today is a good day.

So I went swimming this morning.  Did my twenty lengths, but I'm getting more stamina now, which is good, so I'm stopping less.  Then I went up to Abstract for my weekly comics fix, and ther...

Some more reasons why I love TV

1.  Ian Hislop's look at 'Scouting For Boys' last night.  Not only did it raise some interesting questions about the decline of the scouting movement and our current deliquancy issues in the...

My eyes hurt

Shocking.  They're sore, and very itchy, and seem to be pumping out gunk.  Which is all highly unpleasant.  Also my back hurts, as do my hands, and I slept like shit last night.  k...

Robert Kubica

Not to take anything away from Lewis Hamilton, but the biggest thrill of this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix for me was hearing the news that Robert Kubica had come away from on the most horrific-looki...
